If You Hate Flowers Too

Then why not get those pesky plants back in your own way. There’s even an option for those of you who hate nautilus shells.

Pound for Pound

Looks like Larry Brown will be the new Knicks head coach. The man’s a great coach, and I’m sure he’ll make the Knicks better, but I can’t say I really like the guy. He brings drama wherever he goes, and he’s extremely disloyal. However, at this point the Knicks are so terrible that no good coach would normally take the head coaching position, so a quick fixup is just what they need. I look forward to all the soap opera drama that will unfold as Brown encounters a team that is selfish, undersized, defense-challenged, and soft. I don’t see how he could make it any worse.

So I was totally stumped on this topic for the longest time, but finally I decided to air some frustration over the Lunamaria x Shinn pairing that’s currently going down in Gundam Seed Destiny. In spite of the fact that Shinn is a total sulky brat, he gets everything! So I started thinking, what kind of news could be broken to Shinn that would really rock his world. A couple options were batted around, but some were too mean:

• “I heard that those drugs they gave Stellar changed him into a woman…”
• “I think we should see other people.”
• “Someone just keyed the Impulse!”

I don’t totally hate Shinn, but he is pretty annoying sometimes. Plus the thought of him with a clown runway makes me snicker with glee. This was a pretty simple piece, but I wanted to try a little different coloring. I used really light shades for the base colors (or white), and used most of the more vibrant colors only for shading. I’m pleased with how it came out, overall. Lunamaria’s hair was trickier than I expected, and it was hard to get her to actually look like Lunamaria. The hair antennae helped, though.

Ender was worried about the fact that Kira also goes SEED a ton of times, but I told him that since Kira’s the Ultimate Coordinator, he probably doesn’t have to worry. Kira could probably grow more hair with a mere thought…

Next week’s theme is “Tranquility”.

SK 2.0 Final Out

At last, Spam Karma 2.0 is out of beta!

In somewhat related news, the weird issue where the email address is stripped before making it to the database (which I could never get help for on the crappy WP support boards) suddenly fixed itself on the anime blog. Whatever I did on the evening of July 24th fixed it; I think it’s still in full force on this site though T__T.
